Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 packet Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Warm water
- 1 cup Pizza sauce
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 slices Vegetarian 'ham' slices
- 1 Green bell pepper, sliced
- 0.5 Red onion, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Add the olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients. Stir until a rough dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness for a pizza base.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Arrange the vegetarian 'ham' slices evenly over the cheese.
Add the sliced green bell pepper and red onion over the top.
Sprinkle the dried oregano and optionally, the crushed red pepper flakes, over the entire pizza.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
